"Louisville's Controversial Decision: Burning Down Explosives Manufacturing Home Explained"

Louisville officials are justifying their plan to burn down a home used to make explosives by citing public safety concerns. The city has issued an emergency demolition order for the house, which was found to contain "massive amounts of chemicals" and explosives. Due to the extreme hoarding conditions inside the home, experts have advised that burning it down is the safest option. The city has declared a state of emergency and is working with state and federal partners to coordinate the controlled burn, which may require temporary evacuations of nearby homes.
